Anyway what’s going here is in no way showcasing our assets or enhancing their trade value. I imagine some of these players here would flourish when they’re not asked to do something they’re not. But that needs to be in a team that has a solid core, not 50% forwards who are good but flawed players.

So why haven't Johnny and Monahan been able to produce anything off the rush since after the ALL star break in the first year of Bill Peters? I don't think they are being told "don't rush". I bet they are being told "stop the stupid turnovers at the blue line" because thats all they have done for almost two seasons now.
